Rajshahi Royals pace bowler Abu Jayed believes that skipper Andre Russell is using all his bowling options in the group phase to make a plan of action in the later part of the Bangabandhu Bangladesh Premier League.
Russell used as many as nine bowlers during their seven-wicket win over Cumilla Warriors at Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium on Tuesday.
The move paid dividends as apart from Dawid Malan none could get used with the frequent bowling changes.
‘’We have this kind of team combination and we have almost five all-rounder’s in our side,’’ he said.
‘’We have been bowling like this and we are using a lot of bowlers. We have used almost nine bowlers today,’’ he said.
‘’We are getting used to it,I think there is good for us as we will know whom we will use in the later stage,’’ he said.
Jayed added that he is sure Russell is getting to know the players better and it will be fruitful in the coming days.
‘’As this is our fifth match he will know the player well,’’ said Jayed.
‘’He needs to know some players as well and he is getting to know the players slowly. I think he is using all the bowlers in the group phase, he will know whom to use in the semi-final or final stage,’’ he said.
Jayed added that he is expecting good wickets in Dhaka and added that they are eyeing to play the final.
‘’This wicket [in Chattogram] is good for us and hopefully, we will get these wickets in Dhaka,’’ said Jayed.
‘’I cannot say about the goal of becoming the champions but we are hopeful of playing in the final,’’ he said.
Royals win over Cumilla Warriors helped them earn their fourth victory in five matches which propelled them to the second position of the point table with eight points behind Chattogram Challengers who have 10 points in seven games.
